Hey everyone. Welcome back to the podcast.

This is Matt Lynch.

I hope you're having a great month.

In this episode, Drew Johnson is interviewing James Diamond about his book Jewish theology Unbound.

Before we get on to the podcast episode, could I ask you, you know, this is coming, go on over to iTunes or wherever you get this podcast and give a rating.

It really does make a difference.

When we've had people give ratings, you see a significant increase in the number of listens.

So there's some by, you know, some strange internet alchemy, a correlation between ratings and people

finding out about it. So help spread the love. It's one of the best ways that you can contribute.

So thanks so much.

Converts, Heretics, and Lepers, Maimonides in the Outsider.

And Maimonides and the shaping of the Jewish canon.
